To assess residents' perceptions of plastic surgeons as craniofacial surgery specialists in Brazil.
Brazilian residents were asked to choose 1 or 2 specialists that they perceived to be an expert for 14 craniofacial surgery-related scenarios. Both an overall analysis (all 14 scenarios) and subanalysis (each scenario separately) were performed. Response patterns were distributed as "plastic surgeons alone," "plastic surgeons combined with other specialists," or "without plastic surgeons."
Overall, plastic surgeons were chosen more (all P < 0.05) as experts than all other specialists. The subanalysis showed that plastic surgeons were chosen more (all P < 0.05) as experts than other specialists in 50% of craniofacial surgery-related scenarios and also demonstrated that "plastic surgeons alone" and "without plastic surgeons" were selected more (all P < 0.05) than other response patterns in 31.71% and 42.86% of scenarios, respectively. General surgery residents and male residents chose more (all P < 0.05) plastic surgeons as experts than their peers.
Residents' perceptions of plastic surgeons as craniofacial surgery specialists are limited in Brazil.
评估巴西居民对整形外科医生作为颅面外科专家的认知。
让巴西居民从14个与颅面外科相关的场景中选择1名或2名他们认为是专家的医生。进行了总体分析（所有14个场景）和子分析（每个场景单独分析）。回答模式分为“仅整形外科医生”、“整形外科医生与其他专家组合”或“无整形外科医生”。
总体而言，整形外科医生被选为专家的比例高于所有其他专科医生（所有P<0.05）。子分析表明，在50%的与颅面外科相关的场景中，整形外科医生被选为专家的比例高于其他专科医生，并且还表明，在31.71%和42.86%的场景中，“仅整形外科医生”和“无整形外科医生”的选择比例高于其他回答模式（所有P<0.05）。普通外科住院医师和男性住院医师选择整形外科医生作为专家的比例高于同龄人（所有P<0.05）。
在巴西，居民对整形外科医生作为颅面外科专家的认知有限。
